Re: Do you believe in a God?
Or the Egyptian trinity Amun, Re, and Ptah. Or the Sumerian trinity Anu, Enlil, and Enki. Or the Greek triad of Zeus, Athena, and Apollo.Jolyon Trevelyan wrote:Ah yes the glorious Hindu Trinity. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
Fact is, triune gods can be found across many civilizations throughout history. Scores of them. So it's not terribly surprising that this idea was adopted/absorbed into "Christianity." Largely because of Constantine and two church councils held in the 4th century - the Council of Nicea in 325 and Council of Constantinople in 381 - this has become one of the main doctrines of "Christianity."

I believe that God is perfection in all His attributes. For example, we are mortal, He is Everliving. We are merciful and kind to others but God is The Most-Merciful and the Kindest one. We try and establish justice on earth. But God is the Most Just. It is like everything we know is finite, the world, the Universe.
We think it is infinite. But it is not. God is the infinite and we are his creation.
As for all the bad and evil on earth. Well, if there was no bad how would you know what good was?
Well that's how I see it

“there have been so many times
i have seen a man wanting to weep
but
instead
beat his heart until it was unconscious.

- Latest Review: Finding A Job in Tough Times by Dr. Tim Johnson
There is a lot of doubt in people’s minds about the existence of a Father In Heaven and a Messiah. This is a true shame because for the whole existence of humankind, there have been miracles after miracles. People have been shown blatantly the existence of a higher power, and yet they simply do not believe. I wonder how my Father feels about that. I know that I would feel so much sorrow if my children cursed me, used me, and even doubted and preached that I do not exist. This is the work of the Adversary, for their IS a God, and He loves us more than anything else. He wishes for out salvation, and that is His mission: To bring to pass the eternal life and salvation of mankind. If we but believed what was right before our eyes, He could work such miracles amount us. Why don’t we believe? Jesus Christ is the leader of the true church, working under direction of our Father. This is true, and truer than anything else in history. I have seen both the Father and the Son in my life many times. All it took was an open and believing heart and a want to choose the right. I bet that all of you can see the truth of Them as well. But remember that whoever you are, whatever you have done, you are NEVER beyond saving. And always remember that He loves YOU.
